Zack frowned at Abigail, "You've completely tossed your morals for a pretty face."
Abigail retorted, "A lot of people in this world do the same, I'm not the only one."
Cornelia, picking up the weighty marriage certificate, slowly stood up, "You guys continue, I'm going to confront Marcus."
Zack also stood, "It's late, it's not safe for you to go out alone. I'll come with you."
Abigail immediately grabbed Zack, "She'll be driving. How could it be dangerous?"
"Alright then, I'll drive." Cornelia turned and headed back to her room.
Zack was pissed, "Abigail!"
Abigail, "What are you tagging along for? Going to get in the way? I'm warning you, don't disturb Cornelia and Marcus' time together. They're both so good looking, and their baby will definitely be super SUPER cute. I'll be the godmother, and I'll make everyone green with envy when I take the baby out."
Zack reminded her again, "Wake up, this isn't some romance novel. Cornelia's definitely not taking this lightly."
Abigail exclaimed with heightened emotions, "Marcus, you know, he's Marcus! Do you know how many women want to marry him? Cornelia's so lucky. She must've done something really good in her past life."
Zack was about to explode, "So what if it's Marcus? Does that mean he could betray Nelly? Marcus betrayed her and she saw it with her own eyes. You know how much Cornelia loves Jeremy. If Marcus turns out to be Jeremy, that means he hurt Cornelia."
Abigail thought about it and finally realized the gravity of the situation, "So, what should we do now?"
Zack, "We'll go with her. If Marcus isn't Jeremy, great. If he is, it'll be a fatal blow to Cornelia and we need to be there for her."
As they were talking, Cornelia, who had changed her clothes, walked out of the room, "I'm heading out."
Zack, "Cornelia wouldn't want us tagging along. Let her go ahead, and follow her in a bit."
Abigail sighed, "Why did Marcus have to betray her? If he wanted to be with another woman, why didn't he keep it low profile? Why did he let Nelly see? If Nelly didn't see, there wouldn't be a problem, right?"
Zack did not know how to respond.
...
Cornelia drove to the Hartley Group hospital, starting her car in the basement parking lot.
Even though it was past rush hour, there were still plenty of cars on the road and she frequently had to stop. Cornelia drove really slow, a normally 20-minute ride took her almost 40 minutes to complete.
